Wind is ultimately caused by? Strange heating of the pacific ocean every 2-7 years resulting in years of wetness and short-term climate change
The Sun El Nino
100
When two air masses stop moving when they meet?
Stationary front.
100
The amounts of energy that is absorbed and reflected from the earth?
Absorbed- 65% Reflected-35%
100
This measures Temperature?
Thermometer
100
Large body of air that has the same conditions throughout?
Air mass
200
A shift in the path of the winds due to the rotation or spin of the earth?
Coriolis Effect
200
The average weather over many days to years in an area?
Climate
200
The ultimate fate of energy is released as?
HEAT into space
200
This measures atmospheric pressure?
Barometer
200
The state of the atmosphere that is happening right NOW!
Weather
300
What do cyclone and anticyclone mean?
Cyclone- Area of Low Pressure= Stormy Anticyclone- Area of High Pressure= Sunny, Pleasant weather
300
This measures where precipitation is falling? Three types of precipitation?
Radar 3 types- Rain, Snow, Hail
300
What angle does the sun hit the equator? What angle does the sun hit the poles?
Equator=90 degrees Poles= 30 degrees
300
This measures wind speed?
Anemometer
300
mP mT cT on board where and what conditions are like! cA cP
maritime polar=wet & cold=over ocean between 30-60 maritime tropical= wet & warm= over ocean between 0-30 continental tropical= dry & warm=over land between 0-30 continental arctic= dry & very cold=over land between 60-90 continental polar= dry & cold= over land between 30-60
400
Calm winds near the equator and 30 degrees north and south latitude
Doldrums, Horse Latitudes
400
What are isotherm & isobars?
Isotherm- line showing equal temperatures on a weather map. Isobar-line showing equal air pressures
400
What latitude receives direct sunlight? What latitude receives indirect sunlight?
Direct= 0 degrees, the Equator Indirect 90 degrees, the poles So...the Poles are at 90 degrees and are hit with a 30 degree angle from the sun. So ...the equator is a 0 degrees and is hit with a 90 degree angle from the sun.
400
This measures humidity?
Hygrometer
400
The boundary between two air masses?
Front
500
Weather blowing across the united states would be part of which global wind?
Prevailing Westerlies
500
Draw a land & sea breeze on the board?
GO
500
Uneven heating or energizing of the earth causes?
Convection currents that lead to wind and weather
500
This measures wind direction?
Wind Vane or Wind Sock
500
When a cold air mass runs into a warm air mass pushing the warm air mass up quickly and causing a storm with much rain.
Cold Front
